Revision as of 14:42, 5 August 2014
This article is a collection of the demon races which are normally unattainable by the player, most of which belong to boss enemies. In other words, these races have little to do with gameplay elements such as demon fusion. Some of these races may be attainable in one game but become enemy-exclusive in another (e.g. Vermin and Fiend).
Yuiitsukami / Kami
Yuiitsukami (唯一神, "Unitarian God"), or Kami (神, "God") in Kyuyaku Megami Tensei, is YHVH's clan/race in Megami Tensei II.

Virus and Vaccine
So far only appearing in Shin Megami Tensei II, they are a pair of races in the virtual reality dungeons, both of which are under the "Machine" species. Enemies of these races either oppose each other or just attack the player. While Virus is Dark-Chaos-aligned, Vaccine is Dark-Neutral-aligned.

Shinshou
Shinshō (神将, "Godly General") is composed of twelve boss enemies that appear in Shin Megami Tensei II. They are the Heavenly Generals that protect and serve Yakushi Nyorai (薬師如来, the Medicine Buddha). The twelve are Hindu Yasha who were later incorporated into Buddhism as protective warriors. Each one of them also represents one of the Holy Animals of the Chinese Zodiacs.

Himitsu
Himitsu (秘密 Himitsu, lit. Secret) is an enemy exclusive race in Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX Devil Coliseum. They are Light-Neutral aligned and named after ideological concepts. They can be found in secret rooms of the maze inside the Magic Boxes, if the player opens them during a full moon. Defeating it allows the player to fuse a demon with the same level, with an opposing alignment (destroying a Law Himitsu allows a Chaos demon to be summoned, and vice versa).

Majin'ō (魔神皇, "Demon God Emperor") is the title that Hazama received in Shin Megami Tensei: if.... Majin'o is a person who has gained the omniscient and omnipotent powers of a demon, becoming strong enough to rule supreme over the Expanse. This can only happen if that person has an large amount of evil in his heart. This title is Dark-Chaos aligned, in if... (like a human version of the Tyrant race) as an enemy and Light-Neutral as an ally in Hazama´s Chapter.

Mujinkou / Light
Light (無尽光, Mujinkō, "Infinite Light") is the exclusive race for the boss enemy Kagutsuchi in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. The Japanese title is the same as the Japanese name of the exclusive almighty attack of Kagutsuchi's first form, Vast Light.
Daimaou / Devil
Devil (大魔王, Daimaō, "Great Demon Lord") is the exclusive race for the final boss Lucifer in Shin Megami Tensei NINE and Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Even in other installments where Lucifer appears as a boss, he is just given the usual Tyrant (Maō) title.
Archaic
Archaic (旧人類, Kyū jinrui, "Old Humanity") is the exclusive race for the White when they are fought in Shin Megami Tensei IV.
King
King (東京王, Tōkyō-Ō, "King of Tokyo") is the exclusive race for Kenji when he is fought in Shin Megami Tensei IV
Koki
Koki (古姫) means "Ancient Princess", an exclusive race for the final boss Inaruna in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, in both forms.
Denrei / Cyber
Cyber (電霊, Denrei, "Electronic Spirit") appears in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers and Shin Megami Tensei Trading Card: Card Summoner as a race for the entities emerging from the cyber network. Even though Nemissa is essentially a Cyber demon too, she is classified as Human in the game due to her possession over Hitomi's body (In gameplay sense, this means she is immune to Expel attack innately).
| Enemy | Lvl. |
|---|---|
| Moowis | 20 |
| Winpe | 18 |
| Moowis | 25 |
| Moowis | 36 |
| Malsumis | 60 |
Ghost / Onryou

Summoner

Great
Great (大霊, Dairei, "Great Spirit") is the exclusive race for Kadokura and Manitou in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers and Shin Megami Tensei Trading Card: Card Summoner. Despite being human, Kadokura is classified as this race when he attempts to fuse with Manitou, which severely deforms his physical appearance.
Awake and Soil
Awake (覚醒人, Kakusei jin, "Awakened Man") is the form Jimenez in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey assumes after fusing with his contracted demon Bugaboo.
Soil (大地人, Daichi jin, "Man of the Great Earth") is the final stage of Jimenez at level 70. This form is only fought in the Law route.
Judge and Pillar
Judge (審判者, Shinpan sha, "One who Judges") is the angelic form Zelenin in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey assumes after transformed by Mastema for calming (or brainwashing as some would claim) the opposing humans.
Pillar (聖柱, Sei Chū, "Holy Pillar") is the final form Zelenin takes in order to stop the player from proceeding in the Chaos route. In the Law route ending, Zelenin also appears in this form in the ending sequence to sing the prayer of God to all humanity.
Mother and Empty
As the final boss of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Mem Aleph first assumes the Mother form (大霊母, "Great Spiritual Mother"), a gigantic golden woman lying on one side. After her defeat in this form, she degenerates herself into the embryonic form, Empty (虚大霊, "Nihilistic Great Spirit"), protected by a sphere of cyan liquid (probably amniotic fluid).
Onmyo
Onmyo (陰陽神, Onmyō Shin or In'yō Shin, "God of Yin and Yang") is the exclusive race of Harihara in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner. The race name indicates Harihara's nature of being a combination of two gods, Vishnu and Shiva, of opposite duties.
Bonten / God
Both race titles, God in English version and Bonten (梵天, "Brahma") in Japanese version, only appear in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2 as the race of the final boss Brahman. The Japanese title raises some confusion between the terms Brahman and Brahma (Brahman does not have a physical form in traditional teachings), but the design of Brahman in the game shows reference to Brahma, i.e. the five heads which are fought one by one. (In one story of late Vedic scriptures, Brahma is said to have five heads originally but one has been cut by Shiva, all other Hindu texts just mention him with four heads). It can be conceived that Brahman requires a physical form to challenge the player, thus Brahma.

Jiryuu / Energy
In Devil Survivor 2, Energy (地龍, Jiryū, "Earth Dragon") is the special race for the remnant part of the dragon summoned from the Dragon Stream.
Yoru no Musume / Femme
Lilith in Devil Survivor 2 is the only optional boss who is given a different race in the Japanese version instead of the same Femme race as her summonable counterpart. The reason for this could be that, among all optional bosses, she is the only one who possesses her unique racial skill, Temptation, which is absent when summoned by player as a Femme demon. Yoru no Musume (夜の娘) means "Daughter of the Night", a hint of her being in the Night race in other games.
